I think this idea is great and have no issues with the way they've structured it.

"Likely" is the word you seemed to have overlooked.

You don't have to be an authority to criticize others for speaking about a topic in which they likely have zero expertise.

Be thankful the topic isn't mental illness.

Thanks for asking the hard questions. I'm excited to see what this new equity-share model will lead to, and hope that the value and quality I already get from reddit can be multiplied with this capital. You can be displeased with certa

I think my main issue is with the front page and default subs. They are so unrepresentative of the great quality that can be found, and yet that's the face reddit chooses to put on. Why have default subs at all? Why not rotate through

Exciting news. One thing I sincerely hope reddit will do with the new injection is to increase the level of quality of content and discussion across the board. Often the advice given is "you've got to find the smaller subreddits&q

This is such a clever idea. I can seriously see this getting some huge mainstream attention. Nice work!

I have always had a huge problem with the non-reproducible nature of medical research and its acceptance within the field. Being in medicine, every day you hear a physician citing some study from 15 years ago conducted on a sample size of 2

So I guess people should stop preparing for Google interviews by looking at and practicing the myriad of coding puzzles they've previously asked. You'd be stupid not to.

by kyro 12y ago
Which isn't that big of an issue. I'm sure the YC folks are aware of the practice and look for other less-reproducible signals. Plus, the cramming, interview, 3-month sprint may lead to quite a bit of learning. Most doctors cramme

Absolutely. I'm not advocating that we do away with the regulatory system, but that those drafting the rules look at startups like Uber/Lyft as signals and catalysts for change as opposed to reflexively treating them as threats on

Reading things like this make me OK with startups bending an even breaking the occasional law if they're truly providing something of value. The legal system is rife with regulations and actors that are often not intended to benefit th

Uber is well within their rights to pay for Lyft rides and solicit their drivers, and Lyft has every right to implement systems to prevent Uber's tactics. If what Uber says is true regarding their denial of intentional cancellations, t

Not entirely true for non-pain relief uses. Dronabinol, synthetic THC, is sometimes given to treat nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy.

What you say may be true, but I would much rather have public outcry against this practice than the opposite of overlooking the issue because there are bigger fish to fry.

Does being Egyptian qualify me for this? I am technically an African American. I'm half-serious.

I love the idea of Amazon Prime Air, but there's one concern I have. I know next to nothing about the FAA and airspace regulation, so I'd like to hear from someone who does. The common argument to raised concerns of drones buzzing

uBiome may be onto something. I read a study the other day that said obesity may actually be linked to gut flora, which I found very interesting. Excited to see what comes of this.

YC is getting involved in some serious tech and markets. Long gone are the days of web apps. Deep insight, experience, and skill in today's heavyweight industries are what matter now. Really happy to see this change and very impressed
